V4 Soft Launch
Today was the “soft launch” of RohJuh.com Version 4.0. That just means that the new version is what people see when they go to RohJuh.com. However, since few people visit the site on a regular basis (people generally only visit when I inform them of something new), the site won’t be seeing a lot of [...]
San Juan Huts, Day 7
Today was the final day of our trip and what an experience it has been! We started the day with some nice downhill and some beautiful views into Moab. Shortly after leaving the hut, we came into view of the Fisher Towers which Ryan and Kelly had climbed a few years back. A bit further [...]
San Juan Huts, Day 6
Dave set his alarm for 4:45 AM. When it went off, Dave woke up, turned off the alarm, looked around and saw that nobody was getting up, and then reset it for 5:00 AM. When it went off again at 5:00 AM, we started stirring and slowly started to get up.
It was still dark outside [...]
San Juan Huts, Day 5
“Fucking horses” were the first words I uttered early this morning as I went outside to pee. Apparently, horses don’t sleep very much at night, or at least this particular one didn’t. The stupid bell rang on and off throughout the night.
After Brian, Ryan, and Rob struggled to close and lock the behemoth metal door, [...]
San Juan Huts, Day 4
Last night was cool because we experienced a thunderstorm while we slept. Lying in bed while hearing the sounds of rumbling thunder and the pitter-patter of the rain drops on the roof is something that we as Californians don’t get to experience much.
Judy felt much better upon awakening in the morning, which was a major [...]
San Juan Huts, Day 3
The night passed without any incident and, being better acclimated, everyone was able to sleep better than the night before. The morning’s main incident was Dave slicing his finger when he tried to crush a tin can with his hands. Hut Tip #1: Don’t crush tin cans with your hands.
We hit the trail at around [...]
San Juan Huts, Day 2
Although I slept well, it was apparently a restless night for many others. People found themselves gasping for air throughout the night, no doubt a result of the altitude. Brian referred to the group’s night of sleep as an “orchestra” of various noises and loud snoring. Good thing I sleep like a rock!
Rested or not, [...]
San Juan Huts, Day 1
After a good night’s sleep, we awoke to a beautiful morning and we were eager to get on the trail. We packed up, loaded our packs and trailers, and headed into town.
We went to the Resort Quest office to drop off our keys and to check out. During last night’s unloading of the shuttle in [...]
San Juan Huts, Day 0-
At long last, our mountain biking adventure was finally about to begin! Judy and I left Belmont at around 11 AM on Friday. Since we would be passing right by the Sierra Trading Post in Reno, we decided to stop by and pick up some last minute gear. Rob hadn’t bought any arm or leg [...]
Pescadero Beach
Today was our final training ride for our trip. We had driven quite a bit to the Tahoe area the past few weekends so we weren’t in the mood to go very far from home this weekend. We’ve ridden most of the longer trail rides in the near vicinity and it’s always fun do ride [...]
